In 2023, Gipson started 16 regular season games for the 49ers during their Super Bowl run. He started all three postseason games, as well, including Super Bowl LVIII. In two seasons with the 49ers, Gipson started 39 games, had six interceptions, one and a half sacks, four tackles for loss, and 11 passes defended.
According to 49ers reporter, Matt Maiocco, Gipson "is eligible to sign and participate in all preseason activities, including games; his suspension will take effect as of the roster reduction to 53 players."
While the suspension doesn't end Gipson's career, it certainly does not help his chances of returning in 2024. The 49ers likely had already moved on from Gipson, but he could have been an option if Talanoa Hufanga, who is returning from a torn ACL, isn't ready to go early in the season. Gipson's suspension almost guarantees he won't be back with the team.
Gipson has played 12 NFL seasons and was named to one Pro Bowl, in 2014, when he played for the Cleveland Browns.
